FROM OUT OF THE SHIMMERING HAZE A DEADLY SIGHT...

These fearsome warriors used their cavalry to great advantage in stalking and launching attacks on the British and other invaders from their mountainous homeland. Often, Afghan cavalry units (regular and irregular alike) were able to strike hard and fast to devastating effect before disappearing into the surrounding terrain as if they were never there.

This set includes cavalry typical of the North-West Frontier during conflicts with the British from the 1830s-1920s. Depending on weapon choices they would not be inappropriate from 1700 up to the present time.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included.

  • Sculpting: Thieu Duong
  • Illustration: Peter Dennis
  • Figure Painting: Jason Frowde (Painting Knights)
  • Research: Maxwell McDougall

Afghan Cavalry, sweeping down from the hills

This is a set containing 12 multi-part Afghan cavalry.

There are 2 horseman poses in the set (six of each) - They are not identical, but the differences are too small to worry about. The biggest difference is that one has boots, the other has shoes.

Two poses, yes. But no less than 13 heads with various headgear. Some headgear may be unique to particular tribes, but I don't know! The faces are detailed and expressive.

There are arms for a drummer, 2 swordsmen, 3 jezzailmen, and a lancer, plus a jezzail, 2 bucklers, and a scabbarded sword to add as you wish.

There are 4 sprues of WA's 'Light Horse.' Each sprue has 3 bodies, 4 heads and reins - There is plenty of scope for unique poses, read the Light Horse product description for more. One thing to praise, the horses have decently thick ankles - Too many horses come with thin, fragile ankles. These are nice. The reins may be confusing at first, but they work well.

The figures assemble easily, and paint up well. The faces are very convincing and deserve some attention.

These figures are recommended, and should sweep your foes off the table!

Great customer service

I bought the Afghan Cavalry as a birthday present for a 13 year old as his first dive into historical gaming. He loved the figures but initially had problems putting together the reins and horses, and I was not much help. A couple of emails later and the problem was solved, fantastic customer service for which I am very grateful. I highly recommend checking out the "What's in the box?" video before assembly as there are some great tips in there!
